Schools and Libraries

The only thing that's better than providing modern telecommunications services to schools and libraries is doing so in the most cost-effective and service-focused manner possible. WOW! Business is proud to be a participant of the FCC’s E-Rate program, administered by the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC).

E-Rate funds help to pay for telecommunications, Internet, and infrastructure (ex: WAN development) expenses, assisting schools and libraries that may be experiencing budget shortfalls or a loss of resources. E-Rate funding is available for both WOW! Telecommunications Services and Internet Access services. View our Eligible Services list for descriptions of eligible WOW! services for schools and libraries.

Important Notice on FCC E-Rate Policy: WOW! Business enjoys helping our friends in the education and library communities enrich the lives of all those who depend on or help you deliver your services. We value the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your needs so please be aware that once your Form 470 is filed, WOW! is restricted to the role of Bidder, and can no longer present directly to a school or library purchasing authority once the competitive bidding process begins. Let us help you understand your options and possible Eligible Services solution designs by contacting us prior to your 470 submission.
